I'm Pseudacris crucifer, called the spring peeper! I am one of the first frogs to wake up from winter hibernation in eastern North America. When I wake up to that winter water melting into a nice marsh or vernal pool, the first thing I want to do is MATE! We stay in the wettest parts of the woods, but not too close to a lake or river because we don't want the fish to eat our eggs.

I possess secret knowledge of how to freeze my body during the cold winter without hurting myself. My organs know how to push out all their water into certain spaces in my body where it can freeze safely. My cells are all held up with sweet sugar until it's safe to thaw out again.

I am only 1" long!!

Peeper, I <3 you

Today I learned that glass frogs living near roaring waterfalls wave hello to attract mates!

May I submit the best tarot ever conceived:

Ahhh. I love Hermit, the SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEck

Fact: I had a wild-caught pet toad named Mr Toad for two or three years in grade school. He lived in a 20 gallon tank and ate many crickets. The first time I saw him moult I fell into an hysterical horror. But soon learned it’s normal for Mr. Toad to eat his own skin from his mouth to his toes!

Frog and Bird, so similar. Sings out when lonely for love. Engages in visual seduction too. Has little hands and needs to be wet all the time

Guessing by the "more videos" grid of ever changing options, I'd say TikTok has a fair share of vaginal pimple popping going on.

meadows · Post by **meadows** » Tue Feb 09, 2021 10:57 am

I've been reading about frog and salamander spawning/eggs for a project I'm working on and learned about vernal pools- temporary ponds that arise in the spring. What a beautiful phrase!!!
Also very beautiful to look at-

Frog thread / camping thread special crossover episode! We just got home from a couple nights’ camping out in the Los Padres National Forest (Ojai-adjacent). Our camping spot was creekside and gave us an excellent perch for frogspotting!

Luv your new camping/frog life!

Camping in the winter - what a concept.

yourfriendclaire · Post by **yourfriendclaire** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 12:45 pm

It was a little ambitious—nice and sunny during the day, especially once we hiked out of the canyons, but it dipped down into the 40s at night and was VERY windy. Our little tent was rattling and howling all night. Totally worth it, but we probably won't do it again until early Spring, I think.

alexshred420 · Post by **alexshred420** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 2:53 pm

The coldest I ever camped was 19 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I definitely needed a warmer bag. Now I have a -10 bag and it's pretty toasty in all conditions. Still not trying to camp in the ice or snow, though.

Dropping a frog in here real quick to compensate for going off-topic

This artist’s work is a thrill, with a style and feminine cheekiness like Niagara Detroit (Destroy All Animals).
